Trevões is a parish in the municipality of S. João da Pesqueira, district of Viseu, forming part of the Douro Demarcated Region.

With a surface area of more than 18 km2, it is made up of a plateau (where diversified agriculture predominates), a mountain area (with a forest ecosystem predominating) and an area of mountainous escarpments, where the typical Douro terraces are visible.

The dominant activity and main source of income for the inhabitants is agriculture, being very rich in fruit, olive oil, wine and agricultural products in addition to wood such as pine and eucalyptus. Despite its importance, the population today tends to turn to other activities such as cafes, restaurants, repair workshops, trucking, locksmithing, civil construction, among others.

As it is part of the Douro Demarcated Region, the Municipality of S. João da Pesqueira is the one with the largest area in the area classified as World Heritage, recognized for its antiquity, its terraces and the crossing of cultures. It is this combination of factors that make it the ex-libris of the Douro region.

Along with the vineyard (and wine) which reinforced its presence here through the conversion of other crops that gave way to it (cereals, olive, fig and almond trees), the municipality is also a producer of meat, fruit and forestry products, with forestry being highlighted in the southern (colder) zone.

Thus, the Municipality has a predominantly continental climate with very cold winters and very hot summers, a strong constraint on crops. Because there was no more land, the steep cliffs (typically Alto Douro), with little humus, benefited from the ingenuity and hand of man, which favored the construction of the admirable terraces that climb from the great Rio to the blue summits of the mountains, and that do not leave indifferent to those who pass by.
